I said "other".

it was offered that clients mostly don't even know themselves what are they really working on in therapy. For me - this is one of the many reasons why I do not give a therapist free rein. I think this idea is very condescending to clients.

I can see how this sounds condescending but I think it makes sense, at least for me. Like you might see a doctor for symptoms X and Y, but the symptoms are signs of what the disease is--the doctor doesn't just treat symptoms, they treat the disease.
I had kind of the same thing, I started seeking help because of a particular issue, but that issue was sort of the tip of the iceberg, and now I work on the iceberg.
